#we need more pregnant men in media methinks

[genderkoolaid]

listened to hozier's new song (which is heavily abt abortion) and like. "the gateway to the world / would never belong to angels / never belonged to men" is a part of the chorus. the gateway presumably being the uterus, and the angels/men line presumably being about how neither religion nor men should control abortion.

which. ghfdjjsdkg. he used the phrase "women and pregnant people" in his instagram story about it which is nice. and the song is genuinely beautiful (unsuprisingly) but i can't help but feel bitter. hearing "... never belonged to men" just hurts to hear. it makes me question if trans men will ever be fully acknowledged as people who get pregnant or if cis people only think of pregnant men when they are making jokes about them. it hurts having to choose between having your gender ignored or having people take it upon themselves to sever part of your own body from you through their language.

#we need more pregnant men in media methinks #i need to see actual stories about trans mens experiences with pregnancy & abortion #and on a lighter note its perfect for getting around macbeth style magic bullshit #''no man born of a woman can kill me'' ''okay my dad gave birth to me'' #m. #transandrophobia
